Human Shields play Rumpus with Miles Delpho

Here's my band Human Shields in its first "plugged" appearance, with my nine-year-old son Miles Delpho on drums. Miles is a student of Lorenz Hunziker at the Drum School Basel, and this event was the Open House of the Drum School.

Miles had another open house at the drum school Basel last week. This time he did not play with me (as he did last year); instead, he played a drum duet with his drum teacher Lorenz Hunziker (whom you can't see in the video):

Miles and I had a session yesterday with his drum teacher, Lorenz Hunziker (of Mañana), as part of the Drum School Basel's Open House (Tag der offenen Tür). Lorenz is on keyboards here, since Miles is on drums.

This was Miles's first truly public performance (the previous one was only semi-public, at a wedding), and this time it was on his real instrument (drum set), rather than on bongos. I think he looks right at home. :-)
